Team Bonhomme Official Website



Our team technician Wade Hammond was born for Air Racing.

Having met Paul in 1998 and worked on his aircraft, he joined the team for the 2005 season. This winning partnership keeps Wade on the road throughout the year where he has developed a global network of friends and resources.

Born in South Africa, he started the perfect apprenticeship at a young age, working on aircraft with his father, an electrical engineer.

His vast engineering knowledge that is beyond his years, thirst for innovation and the latest technology keeps us consistently on the podium.

Wade enjoys mountain biking, holds a Private Pilot’s Licence and is a true adventurist currently planning a trans African road trip for the end of the 2010 season (the long, more difficult way down).

As team coordinator, Nigel Warren joined the team in 2008 to assist with the continued success Paul & Wade had already achieved.

His various responsibilities include ensuring that both pilot and technician’s lives flow smoothly with minimal disruption during hectic race weeks.

He is involved in our logistical planning and also acts as our media / fan liaison.

An Englishman born in New Zealand, he has worked in and around general aviation for 18 years, including periods in Russian aircraft sales and 7 years as a commercial pilot flying Falcon Business Jets in the USA.

Nigel lives near Kansas City in Missouri, USA with his two sons and partner Annie.
When not involved in planning for the RBAR season he collects loyalty program points and tries to repeat Paul’s jokes.
